Profile:

A fast-medium bowler of great stamina, Arthur Fielder led the Kent attack in the period prior to World War 1. His best year was maybe 1906, when he took all 10 for the Players against the Gentlemen at Lord's, and Kent won the championship, in large part due to his bowling. He toured Australia that winter and bowled superbly, as well as helping SF Barnes put on 38 runs for the last wicket to win the Melbourne Test. In another famous last wicket partnership, he scored a century with Frank Woolley at the other end, and set a first-class record of 235, that stood for years (and remains an English record). He was, however, not a strong batsman. As a bowler, he was genuinely fast, bowling with a high action. He relied on late away swing for most of his wickets, with many falling to catches behind the wicket and slips, but could bring the ball back off the wicket. All his Tests were played in Australia (Dave Liverman, 1998).
